The idea of going with a ready to serve beverage that is actually good for health came from a personal harrowing experience from the available aerated drinks in the market.

This problem started due to an overconsumption of aerated drinks when I was working as Area Manager Sales for a reputed company based out of Delhi. This made me wanted to start something that not only not deteriorates the health but also contributes to the health positively.
